You COULD draw while looking at something, but the hard part is to make it look like what you're drawing and not like a chinese trainwreck, and that's the point of eyeballing a drawing. But you already knew that and were only PRETENDING to be a retard, joke's on us.
You simply ignored everything I said on the previous page right? Not everyone is good at observing, even if it's a very simple task.
It's really the first step in drawing, and it involves changing how your mind works to draw things purely from observation and not by "looking and labeling". Imo, that's the defining trait that makes a child "artistically gifted", because being considered "good at drawing" at an early age is a product of the fact that they happened to be lucky enough to grasp that concept easily when they were young. It's the difference between looking at a cat and seeing contours, colors and shapes and looking at a cat and saying "... It's a cat." (which is what most people do) So it's really not just hurrdurr let me draw this spoon next to me so easy, it's training your mind to understand what makes the spoon look the way it does, which is the hard part.
People that are considered more developed artists have to do the same thing... That's why most professionals do life studies all the time. While they don't really have to "train their minds", they still have to do real life studies because that's how you get better at drawing. Studying things FROM LIFE and learning their shapes, contours, and how they interact with light is what artists do (and should do if they don't) all the time. You might think it's something you can do easily, but you should actually try it. If you do life studies on a regular basis, you should know that it's not that easy.
You have started this mess of a conversation by expressing your surprise and disbelief over the fact that what you perceive as a mundane, trivial task required further practice in the first place, haven't you? Had you managed to hold back your declaration of inherent artistic provess within that one aspect that has been mentioned, others wouldn't come to a conclusion that you rely exclusively on whatever inborn talent you possess without ever lowering yourself to ordinary practice. *LUL, no-bump EDIT: Emolicious does not a good teacher make.
You're trying to dig yourself out of a hole here. If I'm really going to have to be an ass to you about this, your drawing skill doesn't really indicate that you're an expert on life drawing, which is part of why I drew the conclusion I did.
Post something you do that's serious in real life then... Because obviously when you sit in your high chair screaming about how easy it is for you to do, we're gonna go to your ART GALLERIES to judge that... lol
Sorry Emo but I can't hold myself any longer. Your anatomy is a trainwreck, your use of colour is and sense of design is a trainwreck and makes me cry everytime. All your characters have the same facial features and hairstyles all over again, everything have a the same texture (even worst than Genzoman), you abuse more of lighting, contrast, premade brushes and photoshop effects more than Ramy in his whole portfolio and you are here making fun of my art newbie friends and acting all arrogant like if you are an all-mighty experienced and professional art goddess. Sorry Emo, but really your technique hardly reflects the experience you are bragging about. "I do them on a regular basis": There is a huge difference between doing things and understanding things: One drawing everyday isn't worth shit if you are not doing it correctly, it's better to do one in a week but with your brain in your hands and eyes.
